Diabetes - there are 18.2 million people in the United States afflicted with this disease! However, over 5 million people are unaware they have it.
There are several forms of Diabetes --
- type 1, formally known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, can occur at any age but is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. In type 1 diabetes, the body fails to produce insulin, which is the ability of the body to use sugar, where insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells, and once glucose enters a cell, it is used as fuel.
- type 2, or referred to as non-insulin dependent diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, in type 2, either body does not produce enough insulin or the lack of ability to respond to the insulin correctly.
